I got back into comics in the 90's in college, when one of my friends dragged me to the local comic book store in Ithaca ... Comics for Collectors. The owner suggested Sandman and pressed a the issues comprising the Game of You storyline into my hands. The story pulled me into Sandman, back into comics, and eventually into art collecting. Lucky enough to have one of the two pages I wanted from that storyline.

This is my grail. This page jumped out at me when I bought this issue when it came out. For the last year and a half of college, I had the last panel copied, blown up, and hung up on my wall. I was still relatively new to OA collecting and maybe had 10 pages. Colleen Doran had been to a con close to my school, but had sold all of her Sandman pages (she did have some nice Shade pages). I had no idea where I could go to find the art for sandman ... let alone any specific pages. (Before the days of the internet). Right after college, I spent a year and half in Switzerland working. Walking through Geneva on a Sunday, I found a comic book store window and saw this staring back to me. I left work for lunch on Monday, skipped eating and got this. 30+ years later, it still hangs on my wall and is not going anywhere!

The dream logic of that last panel was just perfect, as well as a wonderful combination of picture and words.

The two page sequence (including the one that followed this, which unfortunately I don't have) encompass everything Sandman to me. :-)

An appropriately dreamy piece of comic art from an amazing series! Congrats!

What's more special to me than the art itself is the story of how you got it. Feels like magic, when a memorable piece finds its way into one's collection. Here's to many more decades of happy possession!
